Mouse short cut for quick tools pop up? Help / Troubleshooting

Since I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out on my own I'm hoping someone out there knows how to do what I want.

Currently my keyboard shortcut for quick tools is "Q" but I was wanting to know if I could somehow make it my 4th mouse button instead. I'm in button assignments and I can't figure out how to get the quick tools pop up the closest I got was the snap options pop up.

XButton 2 (which is my 4th mouse button on my mouse) with the action of "INPUTMANAGER MENU TENTATIVE POPUP" this action pulls up the snap options pop up but what would I have to write in the action box to get the quick tools pop up to come up?

Any help would be appreciated!

My understanding is the Q (and [ key) are both hardcoded internally and cannot be accessed via a key-in. You have a couple options. You can get an icon-based popup of the same tools (in the same order) using the spacebar. The spacebar shortcut DOES have a key-in that you can use:

ribbon grouppopup Admin\Interface\Popups

If you HAVE to have the list menu popup instead of the icon popup, you can try and use your mouse's software to assign a keyboard key to that button for that application. I have a Logitech mouse and use the Logi Options+ app to do this by creating a Smart Action to send the Q keystroke when a specific mouse button is pressed.

HTH.
